Kent,

About your quote:  "However, just the people on this website have made it very clear that it was nowehere near 50-50. This site is made up of random people --- only three have declared their public support for BU$H and his policies. That is more like a 95-5 split, isn't it?"

Kent, I'd say that posters to a  Baerwald board should in no way be viewed as representative of public opinion in the USA. If someone was drawn to Triage, they would most likely be of a certain political bent. Similarly, if one went to a website for the nauseating Lee Greenwood, I'm sure we'd find far more pro-Bush people than anti-Bush people. Random sampling has precise rules to follow in order for one to obtain statistically significant results. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if 95% of the American public was anti-Bush, but they ain't and they won't be. I mean, short of finding Dubya in bed with a 7 year old (with evidence that Cheney took the video), a certain portion of the public will follow this guy wherever he leads them.
